Songs with the word sound

"With Cat-Like Tread" from Gilbert and Sullivan's "The Pirates of Penzance", performed here live in 1980 at New York's Central Park. With Kevin Kline as the Pirate King and Rex Smith as Frederic. A band of not terribly competent pirates attempt to (very loudly) sneak up on their prey. The song begins at 1:00.


Pirates
With Cat-Like Tread
Upon our prey we steal
In silence dread
Our cautious way we feel
No sound at all
We never speak a word
A fly's foot-fall
Would be distinctly heard

Police:
Tarantara, Tarantara.

Pirates:
So stealthily the pirate creeps
While all the household soundly sleeps

Come friends, who plough the sea
Truce to navigation
Take another station
Let's vary piracy
With a little burglary

Samuel:
Here's your crowbar
And your centre bit
Your life preserver
You may want to hit

Your silent matches
Your dark lantern seize
Take your file
And your skeletonic keys

Police:
Tarantara,
Pirates:
With Cat like tread
Police:
Tarantara
Pirates:
In silence dread

Pirates
With Cat-Like Tread
Upon our prey we steal
In silence dread
Our cautious way we feel
No sound at all
We never speak a word
A fly's foot-fall
Would be distinctly heard

Come friends, who plough the sea
Truce to navigation
Take another station
Let's vary piracy
With a little burglary

With cat like tread
Upon our prey we steal
In silence dread
Our cautious way we feel
 

"Maria" from West Side Story
The most beautiful sound I ever heard:
Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria . . .
All the beautiful sounds of the world in a single word . .
Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria . . .

"Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" from Mary Poppins
It's supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
Even though the sound of it
Is something quite atrocious
If you say it loud enough
You'll always sound precocious
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!

 
"Some Enchanted Evening" from South Pacific
Some enchanted evening, someone may be laughing,
You may hear her laughing across a crowded room,
And night after night, as strange as it seems,
The sound of her laughter will sing in your dreams...

 
"Late in the Evening," Paul Simon
And I heard the sound of a cappella groups, yeah
Singing late in the evening...

 
"The Nicest Kids in Town" from Hairspray
So every afternoon
You turn your TV on
(na, na, na, na, na, na-na-na-na)
And we know you turn the sound up
When your parents are gone, yeah
(na, na, na, na, na, na-na-na-na)

 
"Le Jazz Hot" from Victor Victoria
'Bout twenty years ago
Way down in New Orleans
A group of fellows found
A new kind of music
And they decided to call it... Jazz
No other sound has
What this music has...

 
"Rainbow Connection" from The Muppet Movie
Have you been sleeping and have you heard voices?
I've heard them calling my name
Is this the sweet sound that calls the young sailors?
The voice might be one and the same...

 
Monster Mash by Bobby "Boris" Pickett


They did the monster mash
(The monster mash) It was a graveyard smash
(They did the mash) It caught on in a flash
(They did the mash) They did the monster mash
The zombies were having fun (Wa hoo, tennis shoe)
The party had just begun (Wa hoo, tennis shoe)
The guests included Wolfman, Dracula and his son
The scene was rockin', all were digging the sounds
Igor on chains, backed by his baying hounds
The coffin-bangers were about to arrive
With their vocal group, 'The Crypt-Kicker Five'
